They got a place down Kentucky Right down near Ohio Where you can watch the planes at night People line up to watch each flight I said watchin' them planes I wish I was on one I'm sittin' here thinkin' 'bout my red head dream If I could only see her tonight

Oh Atlanta, oh Atlanta! I said yeah! yeah! yeah! Atlanta, got to get back to you

Well you can drop me off on Peachtree I got to feel that Georgia sun And the women there in Atlanta They make you awfully glad you come I said watchin' them planes I wish I was on one I'm sittin' here thinking 'bout my crazy dream If I could only be there tonight

Oh Atlanta, oh Atlanta! I said yeah! yeah! yeah! Atlanta, got to get back to you

We make a day and how just you and me But the music plays all night They got the boogie band blowin' that's bound for hell And when they get to movin' they never stop You just keep on playin' that down home beat You just keep on layin' it down hot

I wish I was on one I'm sittin' here thinkin' 'bout my red haired dream If I could only see her tonight

Oh Atlanta, oh Atlanta! I said yeah! yeah! yeah! Atlanta, got to get back to you
